@ arshad sb…agreed with each and every word of yours…cda dont even had the money to pay their utility bills…
@intern sb. Sir mind u one thing that f-6 is always remembered for super market and not for ayub market.and another thing how much older is f-6 and older how much older is dha lahore??? Third point is its most beautiful location near margala hills…All the examples you quoted is located in zone 1 and u quoted the most elite ones…zone 1 just flourished because of excellent location and weather and good repute of cda which it enjoyed in past…due to these factors zone 1 just flourished even with the lack of basic facilities…obviously bahria and dha will take considerable time to gain but just wait and see…if u are expecting that g-15 will increase at the pace equivalent to zone 1,i can assure u it will not be the case…and for ur info just check prices of dha,bahria and g-15 that were going on 6 months ago and u will obviously come to know which has gained more…another point is the amazing price of f-6 that u mentioned…sir just one month ago two plots of 488 sqyds each were advertised on olx…he was asking 3.25 crore each…and how much will it cost to construct a double storey house on 488 sqyds plots every one know that…suppose if we buy a plot on his asking price i.e 3.25 crore,so according to ur calculation a 488 sqyds construction would cost 3.75 crores =)…
Dear Saadi in f 10 500 sq yards plot price is around 3 crore in f 6 that case would be exceptional otherwise prices are too high there f 6 and e 7 are the most expensive one and by the way there are many houses in f 6 where people construct on more then 2500 rs per sq feet as standards r v high there
@syed sb…Sir i have again checked the prices and many plots of 488 sqyds are available in f-6/2 in price range from 3.25 to 3.50 crores…just one week ago two more plots are floated in market with the tag of 3.40…and constructing at even 2500 or 3000 rs would not cost much expensive which intern sb mentioned…he mentioned 9 crore rs and many of 2 kanal houses are available in this tag…
Here are some of the examples. Please see it for yourself:
18 marla house price tag (7.5 crore):
16 marla house price tag (7.5 crore):
1 kanal house price tag (7.5 crore):

I think its a useless discussion and just a time wastage... Anyways just my last comments on this topic... Some are 2 kanal and some are demolish able house and owner will pay the price of just plot in the name of house. There are some plots which are alongside the nalas and just in front of kachi abadis. Then there is a 2 kanal house which has only five bedrooms. So one must understand that there are a lot of factors which determine the price. Same location house can cost differently in huge variations. BTW, if DHA lahore has 2 kanal in 10 crores then here in F-6, E-7 and F-8 etc two kanals are even sold at 14-20 crore :-) Also like CDA, DHA is now dead...at least in ISB... They did well in LHR but not at all well in ISB...
btw people would be surprised to hear this as this is not a very publicly open matter:
One of my investor friend bought a 1K plot in DHA-2 ISB because he had a blind faith on them. He bought with full possession. After some days he got a letter that your possession is cancelled and you can not make house on this because the party from which the land was acquired has got a stay because the middle man (party which was responsible to acquire land for DHA) has not made the payment to DHA. Now the matter is in court and we all know how much time these "diwani muqadmaas" take - ages rather generations... SO here he is, once a very confident investor in DHA and now he can not even sell that plot ... Now he has to say "chalo shaid bachoon kay kaam aaa jaye..."... Now this is such a big blunder on part of DHA that why are you selling a plot as a "possession plot of 1K" if the land is not 100% clear...
Sir all the advertised 488 sqyds are not in front of nullahs of something like that and obviously nullah cannot decrease the price of plot by 1 crore rupees…i mentioned the old ones and you mentioned new ones.obviously these are mostly built by investors and they demand usually too much inorder to gain maximum profit.i can again safely say that a 488 sqyds can be bought for max 3.5 crores and 1.25 crores would more than enough for construction so try to mention the original figures and not the prices which investors and builders use to demand.The prevailing rate of a plot is round about the figure i have mentioned and if u are interested i can buy u a deal at good location plot in my said figures.mind u one thing that dha has a stable performance from start and it has been attracting customers very long and zone 2 which has great location according to u was one of the most dead area and investment in the real estate sectors just 8 to 10 months ago… Dha lahore also have 2 kanal banglows worth 15 crores easily…and far as the question of your friend’s plot is concerned,this story seems quite vague to me. DHA never do such type of things and just for reference provide us with block and plot number…who is that middle man or party or what is the name of the company…for ur kind info dha acquires the land only by itself and not do any type of contracts with any company to vacate the land as the institution is powerful enough to vacate their land by itself…it is not like cda…i have never ever seen such type of case about which u are talking…yes it can be the case that ur friend bought a plot in the litigation area which has some problem and dha has already mentioned that in their map so it can be the mistake of ur friend.they never give u the possession of litigation area and this story seems to be quite vague.i am also surprised that ur firend is facing this situation only and no other is facing this situation in the surrounding???.and for ur kind info dha has not been doing well in the past some years but now go and have a visit again…atleast 500-800 houses are constructed yearly and more than 1/3 are already occupied and mind my words,it will evolve as one of the most successful housing community in islamabad…
Zone 5 for living, Zone 2 for investment
I am amazed that ppl are thinking abt making their investment on the basis of KFC and nishat lenin...lolzzzzzzzz
if i am living in Zone 2 and i want to grab a KFC deal... I will simply make a 10 min drive to anywhere i want in isb......i can study in any university tht i want without worrying about travelling cost nd time... I was studying in nust and all of my class fellows coming fron zone 5 had to live in hostels....and so many other factors....
Can anyone from zone 5 say that? Having everything inside the societies in zone 5 is there basic requirement otherwise no one wud even think abt going there. Right nw DHA has nothing to offer... They dnt hv any brand inside it..... And just one so called world trade center will nt make much of a difference.....and considering the speed of progress on tht world trade center, it has a long way to go as well.....
Btw there is HUGE difference between the development standard of bahria and dha.. Bharia is amazing... Dha on the other hand has a below average standard.there is a reason ppl prefer bahria in rawalpindi!
Also success of a particular society in determined by its growth..... Bahria has 8 phases in rawalpindi and in islamabd it has successful projects like enclave and bahria golf city and its still growing.... On the other hand dha has just one mere phase 2 to offer...no one really prefers its phase 1, phase 1 extension has issues of its own and far far from development and dnt even get me started on phase 2 extension and valley (huge failures so far)....... And is there even a phase 3? oh yes ..... The new pindi rawat....lolz at tht.
Zone 2 is a success story all along and seems to hold well in he future as well.......
And i must add i know many ppl as well who are facing legal problems as well in dha... Including a retd army officers whose plot was cancelled and the issue is in court..... Ther are many other major developmental issues wiith dha... I will state them but then dha investors here will start to argue with me.....so i will not.....
Sir i think anyone has hired you to defame dha..Can i ask a question??? If dha was so bad then why did you constructed your house in dha 2???You cannot blame dha for your carelessness in choosing the contractor..KFc etc was just an example..Btw are you sure that from zone 2 ,10 min drive will make you reach kfc???And after reading a comment in other post now you will say that "lolzzz Now people will make their decision on the basis of world trade center"..So please these are the factors which matters..And for ur kind info NUST is not the end of the world..What about those who study in MCS?? ..What about those who study in EME?? .What about those who study in MAJU?? .What about those who study in FAUJI FOUNDATION MED COLLEGE?? Zone 2 was a big failure just 8 to 10 months ago and how it gained every one know that...Just wait and see who take the lead...
Sir y are u getting so offended?u r talking like i am targeting u personally. And kindly leave my personal matter alone... I think i made a huge mistake by sharing my personal story. Any person with a heart will feel my pain..... But u r so blinded by ur investment tht u dnt care abt anyone....
And seriously u think i can defame dha on my own? if i can then good... I will do that.....but open ur eyes and c the reality..... I didnt fill news papers and internet about news against dha.....
U say time will tell? how much more time does dha need? dha has spent more than 2 decades proving itself a failure....
If u r happy with ur investment in dha rawalpindi then b it..... Means nothing to me....my intention is to help ppl make smart choices with their investment because not everyone is an investor like you...ppl spend there lifetimes to gather little sums of money in hope of providing their families with comfort.....i think abt that...
and from now on i will not talk to u directly but tht doesn't mean tht i ill not raise my voice!
Oh and btw NUST is the best university in pakistan......plz check international ratings for tht to c its position too..... And ur precious eme is a part of nust (for ur info) and is a mere 3 mins drive from zone2. No one can even compare maju and fauji foundation with nust...thats a real lolz moment!
First of all nust is in Rawalpindi/ islamabad and not on moon so that the distance of 25 km from home to one of its campus will force its students to live in a boarding. It sounds over-exaggerated that Nust students from dha islamabad live in boarding due to distance of 25 km lol. There may be other factors involved. Most of people living in Dha transport themselves to farthest nook of islamabad and back on daily basis. Secondly Development standard of dha is in par with bahria and in no respect can be regarded below. Defence has a self sustained ecosystem with market centres in every sector, security, water filter stations, schools and defence club with barbecue spots, sports facilities , community center, marriage hall and swimming pools. As far as success of dha is concerned both of dha phase 1 and 2 have more than 10000 kanals of land for housing with phase 2 extension and future phase 3 in pipeline. Eight phases of bahria is not an index that it is more accomplished than DHA. All it depends on the satisfaction of residents and as far as i know residents of dha are more than happy with Dha. The kind of civic amenities, bahria and dha provide can only be compared to Cda Zone 1 (F-6 to f-11 and e-7.) Graduates from maju/ nust / bahria / fast/ fazaiya equally qualify well for all positions in industry without any preference, as what industry cares is a recognized degree and smart people instead of school rankings. Multinationals like telenor /mobilink/unilever/shell/GE even have engineers/ Mba from top US/Europian technical/ business schools so nust is not the only one in league.
@faizan khan btw you are so diplomatic.Kindly show some material against dha in newspapers…You havent discussed about MCS??I myself is an engineer so plz do not tell me about the ratings and all that bullshit.You have not answered majority of my questions…Last but not the least please have the discussion and do not get offended…PLus you can check this post that how many opted for zone 5.Obviously i have not forced them…Btw how your matter was personal when you yourself posted your whole story on this forum.I feel sorry for you ut every one replied you that you cannot put the mistake of contractor in dha’s account.
@HawaK2k SIr thanx for ur kind support…
I was not bullshitting anyone and i will not use tht term........ And this thread will not decide what happens in reality.... Its my point of view.....and yes ppl were living in borading just cz of distance...... I will simply nt ake any comment on this forum for you guys.....but i will keep advising ppl abt what feels right and plz dnt feel sorry for me. And Sir dha provides the same amenities as bahria? while everone in bahria enjoys a good night sleep, ppl in dha hav to suffer constant loadshedding on hourly basis... Bahria provides it customers with gas connection and manages to take care of it on its own....what does dha do? dha asks ppl to go to i9 and apply for it and wait forever...... Bahira and dha are not on the same level and never will be....majority prefers bahria in zone 5 and anyone would.....
Well zone 5 is better in short term investment for long term i think zone 2 is more better…
Saadi and faizan brothers you need to calm down. This is a real estate forum, if you have differences then sort them outside of this forum.
